Fall in love with art during First Friday gallery cruise

Most galleries and art spots are open from 6 to 9 p.m.

Café Luna will exhibit photographs by Cassie Bergman.

Barnworks artists will show selected works at The Hardware Store Restaurant. Participating artists this year include Jerry Balcom, Rose Belknap, Donna Botten, Debi Shandling Crawford, Mary Hodgins, Sharon Munger, Geri Peterson, Jayne Quig, Ilse Reimnitz, Hartmut Reimnitz, Jon-Eric Schafer and Jan Wall.

Hinge Gallery will exhibit work by longtime islander Brian Brenno. Brenno, well known for his glass blowing, recently began working with tin cans. The gallery will show Brenno’s new regional landscapes and imagery of historic architecture, depicted two dimensionally in tin.

Raven’s Nest will present an exhibit called “Spiritual Healing” that explores Northwest Coast Native traditions for healing and the use of herbal remedies. The gallery welcomes back Vashon Tlingit artist Autumn Shotridge and Tlingit/Haida herbal medicinals expert Jessie Hunt. The gallery will feature a variety of sage, sweetgrass, osha and devil’s club ointment from Alaska, plus handmade, beaded leather and sealskin medicine pouches by Autumn Shotridge and devil’s club beaded necklaces by Sue Shotridge. An artist talk by Hunt about the ingredients and benefits of her soaps, healing ointments, and balms will begin at 7:30 p.m.

VALISE will present six artists — Claudia Hollander, Morgan Brig, Joanne Hammer, Pascale Judet, Rebecca Dvorin Strong and Bonnie Wilkins — who came together 10 years ago to form an artist group with the humorous moniker “Le Petit Salon.” Eventually the group disbanded until VALISE member Pascale Judet invited the other five artists to join her in a reunion show.

Vashon Allied Arts will feature all of the original works by more than 130 Vashon artists that will be auctioned at the nonprofit’s fundraising auction, “Vive La France.” The reception will include a “Taste of Vashon” with food and spirits by many island vendors from 6 to 9 p.m.

Vashon Intuitive Arts will show multi-media work of Helen White.
